My db7 project build aka hellafresh

[k20wagon]

Update, got the teg together and fluids are in it but out of everything the negative battery cable was missing wtf. So now gotta wait to get that.

Cranked up the teg today and is running good. Sounds great and not one single thing of smoke.

It definitely feels good to here it finally and running good. I am putting the coilovers on now.

great build thread. :thumbs up

right there with you bro. autotragic db7.

 

[k20wagon]

Ahh its ok for now, sometimes it is good having a auto in some situations but still want it a manual.

Just alittle update on the teg. I am putting coilovers on it and I get to the rear and every bolt on the rear hub, struts, lcas where seized up and wouldn't come loose with even a impact gun. All the bushings are shot as well. I had to heat up the bolts and use pb blaster since it works better when it gets hot. The bolt for the lca and the hub broke off so got to drill that out.

The struts are crap to, the top nut won't come off cause they stripped, I dunno why cause I had no problem with the front. So now I gotta buy some struts. I would just replace the bushings on the lcas but I am just gonna go ahead and buy some gold blox lcas and get that out of the way.

So while I replace the struts and lcas I will be removing the hole hub and cleaning it and get rid of most of the rust and stuff and coat them. Going to put anti seize on all the bolts as well so that the bolts seizing up will not happen in the future.

I'll hook you up on lcas I think everyone that works suspension on these cars run into issues. Especially if the car sees rough winters/snow etc.

 

[k20wagon]

What lcas are they and are they gold? And I have heard from a lot of people it happens a lot on these models. But I mean lesson learned never buy a car from up north that has not been well maintained

just an fyi blox lca bushings tend to go bad if you drive kinda agressive, I wore mine out after about 5k of dd/ and some tracking
